Algeria, "always driven by values of solidarity woven by the human and family ties that unite the two brotherly peoples, Algerian and Moroccan, had avoided, when deciding to sever diplomatic relations with this country in August 2021, calling into question the freedom and fluidity of the movement of people," notes the same source.
"Taking advantage of the visa exemption regime, unfortunately, the Kingdom of Morocco has engaged in various actions that are detrimental to the stability of Algeria and its national security, with the large-scale organization of organized crime networks, drug and human trafficking, smuggling, illegal immigration and acts of espionage, as well as the deployment of Zionist intelligence agents, holders of Moroccan passports, to freely access the national territory. These acts constitute a direct threat to the national security of our country and impose firm and strict control of all points of access and stay in the national territory," the statement stressed.
"The Kingdom of Morocco is held solely responsible for the current process of deterioration of bilateral relations through its hostile actions towards Algeria," the same source concludes.
